Kate Garraway sets up co-host Alex Beresford with Amy Hart

Good Morning Britain\'s Kate Garraway tried to set up her co-host Alex Beresford with Amy Hart live on air.

The 39-year-old weatherman - who stepped in for Adil Ray - made his debut as a presenter on the ITV breakfast show on Thursday (20.08.20), but he was taken by surprise when his 53-year-old co-host attempted to play matchmaker on the show.

After quizzing him on his current relationship status, Kate revealed the \'Love Island\' star has a huge crush on the ITV hunk.

She said: "You\'re already very popular, Alex - and Amy Hart, absolutely gorgeous girl, came forward to say you are her favourite crush."

Alex replied: "Apparently she followed me on Instagram a few days ago and she\'s upset that I didn\'t follow her back, so maybe I\'ll go on Instagram right now..."

Kate gushed: "So Amy, if you\'re watching, he\'s going to get in touch - that\'s exciting!"

Introducing the show, Kate said: "Welcome to the programme, and how exciting is this, welcome to Alex Beresford!

"Did you get any sleep last night, because it\'s a bit nerve-wracking?"

"And I wanted to knock on the door and say, \'Actually I\'ve got a pretty big job tomorrow myself!\' "

Kate quipped: "Well we won\'t say where it is, but if you had an argument in a hotel last night about whose career is more important, you potentially devastated Alex Beresford\'s big moment."
